Geographic Information Systems C.U.S.

A geographic information system (GIS) links hardware, software, and people to collect, manage, analyze, map, store, update, and present a wide variety of data about human or animal populations, environmental events, and the places where they interact. The GIS certificate will prepare students to connect all manner of quantitative data to a base map by integrating location data (i.e., where things are) with all types of descriptive, analytic or predictive information (i.e., the conditions that exist—or will exist—at the place(s) under study).
